You can use extended slice operators

http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/whatsnew/section-slices.html [1]

This function call should do what yo expect

print [e, d, c, b, a][::-1]

[1] Does anyone know where to find a comprehensible description of
enhanced slices in the Python docs besides an an aged "What's new?"
column? Or is it intended that newbies read this
http://docs.python.org/ref/slicings.html ?
